What our customers are saying about Jim:

“Jim Morelli made sure the deal worked, even going so far as to bring the car to me over 150 miles away. Very happy with the deal and the extra effort!”

“Jim Morelli was my salesperson and he was fantastic! He never made myself or my family feel pressured to buy/add on anything and was a tremendous help. Honest & genuine is always the best way to go and he surpassed that! He helped us in every way possible. He made the whole experience so effortless.”

“Jim Morrelli was our salesman and was great. We told him what we wanted and he helped us into our first new car, he didn’t try to pressure us or sell us something that we couldn’t afford or that we didn’t need. He followed up with us every once in a while to make sure everthing was good and that we were satisfied.I recommend Jim to any one looking to buy from the dealership.”

“Jim was my salesman and he was so honest and helpful with the decision making process to actually explain why the more expensive options were not necessarily fitting for my needs. He never tried to upsell me on anything and made the entire process very painless.”

“Jim Morelli was our salesperson. He was very friendly and not pushy. He showed us the car with everything we wanted and more. He made the deal easy!”
